Well, we wanted it to get warmer, and it has. Yesterday was just ridiculous in London. I met Sara Elise, who happens to be a model, on Bond Street, after a great meeting. Asked where she got her boots. 'Zara, she said laughing.

With the lens I had, I had to keep backing up to fit all of her in the shot, so I was in the street, nearly getting run over. But it was worth it: she's so so nice! I love this look: shorts, top, boots. Simple simple simple.

Thank you for your lovely comments yesterday. My mom is up @ my sister's house in Massachusetts, and she wrote that she couldn't remember what day I was born. And I thought she remembered everything! Luckily, my sister found brain bashers. Turns out I'm a Thursday's child, after all: far to go!

amazing legs! she owns this look. not many can pull off high-waisted "paperbag" shorts and ankle boots.

seems everyone is shopping at Zara these days. i still have not been back, after my first trip last year, in which i was overwhelmed at the vast array of offerings...walked out with extreme visual overload (akin to shopping at Walmart- which i just can't do anymore. having lived on a tiny island so long, it's too much to take in, too many choices! that, coupled w/ bad lighting and bad merchandise...) sorry i do not mean to compare zara's beautiful clothing to walmart's scary stuff....i'm only making a comparison to the experience of 'too much under one roof'.

that said, i will surely get acclimated to "choices" and will certainly visit my nearest Zara soon.

what is roadtrip23?

RoadTrip23 is the natural evolution from StreetStyle London, which is still here, and has been since 2009. Because there's more to the world than fashion, and there's more to the world than London. Lovely as London is.

I'll still be posting street style, if something really grabs me, but have expanded into other areas of interest, primarily travel, the arts, culture. Whatever I feel is beautiful or interesting: either man made, or a natural wonder.
